Outstanding Legal Expertise and Guidance on Employment Contract

Marcia provided exceptional representation and guidance throughout my employment contract process, ensuring that my rights and interests were fully protected. Her expertise, attention to detail, and strategic advice made a significant difference, and I highly recommend her for employment-related matt...ers.

Posted by Paul | August 30, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Relentless, compassionate, amazing!

My interaction with Marcia began with an initial phone consultation of my separation agreement. We had a long-winded discussion regarding the extenuating circumstances involving my former employer’s knowledge of my son’s impairment since birth as well as my years of service to that company and the mi...ssing criteria of the separation agreement not disclosed by them. Marcia expressed sincere compassion for my family and son. After the initial consultation; Marcia was hired by me and spoke with their legal council, she negotiated a settlement to nearly double the original package and I cannot be more grateful to Marcia!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Marcia and I worked on opposing sides for a family law matter. Whereas naturally we both had our stances for our respective clients, Marcia was always extremely respectable and fair. She zealously defended her client, as I did mine. It is always a pleasure working fair opposing counsel. Very respectable."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
